Wrecks in the Haven
Dakotian
Large freighter sunk during the war by mines, situated just north of the east bay. She's 600 foot long and starting to break up now - some good swim throughs. Cargo tin plates still there. Takes 50 minutes to swim right round the wreck - good easy dive in good viz. Max depth 19 metres - make sure you stay with the shot to the bottom - current can run quite well. Some good sized congers and good fish life, cod. There is a permanent marker on it.
